I'm not good at posting on our blog frequently, so when I do post something it usually consists of many events crammed into one post. And this entry will be no exception! Ya'll ready for this? Cue Space Jam Theme song.
I love Summer time. You can go outside without bundling up and we spend a lot more time outside when it's warm. Walks, fishing, picnics! Love it all!

| Fishing at the pond with daddy. One of Mckenzie's and Channing's favorite things to do. One day maybe they'll actually catch something! ;) |
On July 2nd we had Isaac's baby blessing. Then afterwards the Hamilton's and the Crawford's came over for a taco dinner. We love having family close by. Makes these kind of events great.
On July 4th we headed out to Lucky Peak with the Crawford's for some boat time! Mckenzie was actually super comfortable going on the tube and even sitting on the easy wake trainer. Channing wasn't too impressed with either. Mainly he just wanted to swim in the water. Oh and catch bugs with Ryan when we stopped for lunch.
That night, to celebrate July 4th, we did some fireworks. After checking on Isaac in the house I found a snake slithering across our driveway. Pretty sure that was the highlight of the night for the kids. Channing so desperately wants to hold a snake. One of these days he's gonna learn the hard way that snakes aren't always friendly and he's gonna get bitten. We let the kids stay up till 11:30pm. By then everyone was so tired! It was a great day!

Next event was Mckenzie's 2nd birthday! We celebrated her birthday on Saturday, July 8th. Her actually birthday is July 10th. We invited over the Hamilton's and Crawford's for a sandwich dinner and ice cream cake dessert. We filled up the pool and had water balloons. It was about 100* outside so the kids enjoyed the water fun.
Mckenzie is still struggling with pooping too often since her surgery. We have good days and bad days. We're meeting with a dietician this week to see how I can maybe change up her diet. Her surgery was in March but things haven't gone back to normal for her yet, in regards to her bowels. When she's not in pain from a diaper rash she's a very sweet, smart, and happy girl. I love seeing more of her personality come out. She can be a little sassy sometimes but she's always quick to put her self in time-out or give a hug. Lol! She loves playing in her kitchen, playing with play dough, or feeding the ducks.

| I took Mckenzie to Toy's R Us for a little mommy and daughter time. I let her pick out a chair for her room. She put them all in a line and sat in each one. She decided on the Elmo one in the end. |
